Farming background

I am not from a farming background,but I am very passionate about the agriculture industry. I have previously completed 2 weeks of lambing work experience at a sheep/beef farm in northhall, Bedfordshire. I have also completed many hours of work experience on the college farm gaining experience on the general health and welfare skills required, for sheep such as worming,dagging, and vaccinations. At college I have only driven old tractors and would love to gain extra experience using bigger up to date tractors and machinery. If someone could give me this experience it would be brilliant. Thanks Alice

Outside of college, I like to talk long walks with my dog and listen to music. I currently work on in a Saturday in Tesco, Hemel Hempstead. I am currently looking into getting some chickens to go into my garden,which I would use to breed or produce eggs.
